Log Cabin 4 at Osborn Boat Ramp on Patoka Lake
We loved the cabin and the surrounding village. Such close proximity to Patoka Lake! Will definitely be back.

Luxury Log Home- Near French Lick
The lodge was perfect for the guy’s golf getaway. We had the location to ourself and were very comfortable with all the accommodations. Few down things. Since we are all family men. The WiFi struggled to support a great connection for FaceTime with our families. However! It allowed us to unplug from work and enjoy the beauty of French Lick! I will definitely recommend for future family events and/or golf trips.

Log Cabin 6 with Hot Tub at Osborn Ramp on Patoka Lake
Great stay. Beautiful location. Activities close by in French lick & in the summer close to holiday world.

Log Cabin 2 at Osborn Boat Ramp on Patoka Lake
We went to the Polar Express in French Lick. It was an easy 10 minute ride from the cabin to the railway. The place had a Christmas tree the the outside was also decorated, which fit the whole Christmas theme. There were 4 adults and 2 children, we had plenty of room. We will be back for a summer weekend!

Family Style Home #18 on Patoka Lake
We stayed here with our grown kids and grandkids. The house was laid out perfectly, so each family had their own sleeping space. The kitchen was so well equipped that making meals for 12 was no issue. The grounds were beautiful to walk, so peaceful and the clubhouse and saltwater pool was enjoyed by all of us. However, the best thing about staying here was the staff. As we were arriving, just outside of the entrance to Patoka 4 Seasons, the transmission in our truck (which was pulling our 24' pontoon and packed full of our stuff) went out. We had to call a tow truck, figure out how to unload truck and offload our boat. Marie, in the office during check-in was so understanding and helpful, even offered to help us move our stuff in her jeep, if needed. She also let us park the boat in the office lot space until someone arrived to move it. The hospitality didn't stop there, the staff was so accommodating at check-out to make our wait for truck repair easier. We are so thankful for them!

Majestic Cabin | POOL & HOT TUB
Jordana was the best host we’ve had on Airbnb. Super responsive and extremely helpful. House is older, but great for families. The host was very thoughtful having filtered water in the kitchen and other common sense things taken care of.

Log Cabin 3 at Osborn Boat Ramp on Patoka Lake
Very nice and quiet place. We enjoyed our few day visit. It’s just close enough to town and several other attractions in the area but also far enough away from large crowds if that’s what you’re looking for. Hiking trails in the area were nice and well kept. We’ll be back just for a longer amount of time next time!

Log Cabin 9 at Osborn Boat Ramp on Patoka Lake
This is a great location near the lake. The host was very responsive and helpful when we requested a rather last minute check-in. The cabin is very clean and cute. Would stay here again.

It was a wonderful location tucked away in the woods. The description and pictures are on point. Had a wonderful time. We also arrived on a darker rainy evening and the drive way number was lit up which made it easier to find.

Rachel’s cabin is by far the nicest cabin I have ever stayed in!! The cabin was extremely well laid out. Rachel thought of everything! Everything was labeled and where we thought things would be! Her decor is beautiful and the sheets, towels, etc were super clean and soft! Extra blankets everywhere! We would love to stay here again! If you are looking for a place that has beauty, peace, and everything you need, this place is it! Thank you Rachel!!

Our family had a wonderful time at Jeremy and Jessica’s home. It was beautiful, spacious, and had everything needed for a great stay. We really enjoyed the blackstone and outdoor fire pit as well. It is in a great location of things to do in and around French Lick. They were very responsive when we had a question. We are looking forward to staying there again in the future. Mary

Your guide to Patoka Lake
Welcome to Patoka Lake
With 8,800 acres of gleaming fresh water to explore, Indiana’s Patoka Lake is a true gem for nature lovers and outdoor adventurers alike. As the second-largest reservoir in the state, there’s plenty of room for waterskiing, tubing, fishing, or just hanging out beachside with your toes in the sand.
While there’s no shortage of humans to be found around the area when the weather’s warm, Patoka Lake is the perfect destination for spotting some of Indiana’s coolest creatures, including freshwater jellyfish, river otters, and bald eagles.
The lake is a course of endless adventure, but be sure to spend some time exploring the surrounding wilderness as well, either through one of Patoka’s hiking trails or at neighboring Hoosier National Forest, a massive preserve on the eastern edge of the lake. If you’re craving a dose of civilization to help break up all of that time in nature, Patoka Lake is close to two irresistibly quaint towns. Cruise 30 minutes north to French Lick or 30 minutes westward to Jasper to stock up on essentials before returning to this slice of Hoosier paradise.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Patoka Lake
While Indiana tends to get frigid during winter, Patoka Lake is ultimately a pretty great destination year-round. If you’re here for swimming and boating, you’ll certainly be most comfortable from June to August, though keep in mind that it’s peak tourist season so you’ll have to deal with crowds. Anglers flock to the lake in spring, when the temperature is cooler and the crappies are biting. Hang around in the fall and you’ll be treated to some of Indiana’s most brilliant foliage, attracting leaf-peeping day-trippers from near and far. Tourism is typically lowest during the winter, but there are still a lot of activities available across the region. Hiking trails are open (and empty), plus you should look out for cross-country skiing opportunities just northeast of the lake, as well as ice fishing when the weather reaches its frostiest.
Top things to do in Patoka Lake
Patoka Lake Nature Center
Hikers should take note: This is the best destination for exploring the wild heart of Patoka Lake. Ambitious explorers can tackle the 6.5-mile Main Trail, while the less athletically inclined may prefer the far shorter Garden Rock Loop Trail. Pick up maps and hiking recommendations at the interpretive center.
Dubois County Museum
Just north of Jasper, this institution has been educating visitors about the background and history of Dubois County since 1999. From its large collections of 18th-century farming tools to a wealth of taxidermied animals in the Wildlife Adventures Room, the museum houses more than 41,000 items in its collection.
French Lick West Baden Museum
If you’re hoping to brush up on your Hoosier history, there’s no better destination than the West Baden Museum. Visitors here can peruse a wide array of exhibits highlighting the area’s storied history, which includes its former status as a lucrative illegal gambling hub, and the home of one of professional basketball’s all-time best players.
